Design

The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.

2.weather-sealed (splashproof)

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.

3.weight

189g

118g

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

4.thickness

8.6mm

12.2mm

We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.

5.width

72.3mm

62.3mm

The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product. We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability.

6.height

157.8mm

115mm

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.

Display

1.pixel density

538ppi

165ppi

Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.

2.resolution

1440 x 3120px

320 x 480px

Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.

3.screen size

6.39"

3.5"

The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.

4.has branded damage-resistant glass

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

Damage-resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.

5.LCD display with 3 subpixels per pixels

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

The device has an LCD display with 3 subpixels per pixel, resulting in sharp and crisp images. Pixels in some displays (like AMOLED) share one subpixel to preserve space. This can result in a less crisp, slightly blurred image.

6.has an IPS screen

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology used for LCDs. It was designed to overcome the main limitations of conventional twisted nematic TFT displays: limited viewing angles and low-quality color reproduction. PLS (Plane-to-Line Switching) is a type of IPS screen developed by Samsung, with increased brightness and lower production costs.

Performance

The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.

2.RAM

6GB

0.5GB

Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.

3.has an external memory slot

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.

4.internal storage

128GB

4GB

The internal storage, also called read-only memory (ROM), refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.

A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.

Cameras

1.megapixels (main camera)

40MP & 20MP & 8MP

2MP

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.

2.has built-in optical image stabilization

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.

3.Has a dual-tone LED flash

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

A dual-tone flash has LED lights with different color temperatures, delivering a better color balance to photos and videos.

Battery

Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.

2.has a removable battery

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.

3.has wireless charging

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base.

4.Supports fast charging

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

Fast charging technologies, like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge or MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.

The ultra power-saving mode, also called low power mode, is an effective way to extend the battery life of the device. Usually, it involves limiting screen brightness and contrast, disabling location services, restricting connectivity, and turning off nonessential apps.

6.has a battery level indicator

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.

Features

1.supports Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Vodafone Smart Mini

802.11ac wireless works on the 5GHz frequency range. It offers higher transfer rates, improved reliability, and improved power consumption. It provides advantages for gaming and HD video streaming.
